So twenty-four hours doing my best Mr. Freeze impression, totally well spent. Who needs fancy cosplay when you've got the City around to literally make it happen?

[ With a frantic motion of his hand. ] Everyone all accounted for? Nobody's slipped down the cracks of the sidewalk to live with the monsters and back breaking psychopaths? Anyone lose a little water weight?

[ He he he he. ]

[Your boss only has one thing to say.]

You're a butt, Stiles.

[But she says it with a ton of amusement.]

I survived. No melting or turning into ice cream here. [Pause.] I'd have probably been sriracha flavored.

I was peanut butter. [ Which could mean a lot of things. He just sounds amused though, in the way he usually does. ] Delicious and nutty.

[ A hum as though he can't quite stop making noise. ] Good thing there's an abundance of giant freezers around here. I'd suck as a roommate.

I'm just glad you survived it. Honestly, I've seen horror films with the same premise and it was a bit unsettling to actually see it in action.

There was totally a Doctor Who episode about water people, same difference.

I'm surprised people didn't just start self-cannibalising.

[unflagging]

Doesn't water expand when it freezes?

[studmuffin]

Yeah but that's only if you managed to freeze all of you. There could totally be a puddle around here that's an inch off.

[unflagging]

Oh, good point, good point.

Hey, I know a few people around here who wouldn't complain about losing an inch or two. I hear 'em complain about that inch or two enough already.

[studmuffin]

[ Snort. ]

Well hey, I guess nobody can say the City doesn't give them something.

[lupusalpha]

You tasted like peanut butter.

[studmuffin]

Are you complaining about my sweet deliciousness?

[lupusalpha]

Think about it, Stiles.

[studmuffin]

I thought dogs liked peanut butter!

[ :C ]

[silvering]

What exactly is cosplay, please?

[studmuffin]

Huh. It's - [ How do you explain cosplay? ] It's like dressing up in costume. But it's usually your favourite character from a tv show or a book or something like that. Like ... people usually want it to be authentic and they pretend to be that person.

[silvering]

[Jem tilts his head on to one side.]

Do a lot of people enjoy pretending to be someone else?

[studmuffin]

Life tends to suck, so yeah. I reckon they do.

[anunluckypenny]

Back-breaking psychopaths?

[Surely you don't know that these exist because you've met them, sir.]

[studmuffin]

Y'know, from Batman.

[ Peter probably could but he is not thinking about that. ]

[anunluckypenny]

Nope, don't know a thing. I basically lived under an anti-culture rock at home.

[studmuffin]

Wow. I wish I had my comics here, I'd totally educate you.

( Voice )

[confined_to_briah]

Are you trying to be amusing?

( Voice )

[studmuffin]

You mean I'm failing? Bummer.

[mortemscintilla]

...You do fancy cosplay?

[ :c :c :c ]

[studmuffin]

You should see my Halloween costumes. [ Not the year of the City though, no way. Red Riding Hood didn't suit him, thanks curses. ]

But yeah, sometimes. I keep trying to convince Scott to come con-ing with me but no dice.

[mortemscintilla]

I was ... attacked by a few cosplayers, back when I lived in Tokyo.

[ It stamped him with an indelible fear. ]
